Report from David Field, Chairman of the Land Management Committee, Winter 2018
MORE WONDERFUL NEWS - 1st December 2017
The Trustees are thrilled to announce that Widmer Fields has now been registered as a Village Green.
This gives an additional layer of protection from development. The fields are now covered by Green Belt, AONB, Charitable Status and now Village Green. Village Green status is almost impossible to terminate.
We would like to express great thanks to all those residents who have supported GAT with financial donations and voluntary work over the years (and who continue to support GAT) – this is an achievement by all of you to secure this wonderful piece of our countryside in perpetuity.
Enormous thanks must again go to those resolute and tenacious residents who fought for so many years against the development of the fields. What would we have done without you?
We continue to manage the land in an environmentally friendly way and would greatly appreciate more volunteers joining our land management team. Do contact the Hon. Secretary if you would like to devote some of your spare time to looking after our Village Green.
On the financial front, we would still appreciate your donations in order to pay maintenance and insurance costs as well as to provide capital for projects and equipment. This is an ongoing venture and it is to the benefit of all of us and succeeding generations.
THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
